Burchatts Farm Barn Wedding

A Burchatts Farm Barn Wedding at Christmas! How romantic, and what a beautiful setting for a winter wedding. If you haven’t been to a Burchatts Farm Barn Wedding, then take a look at their website – its the perfect setting for a medium sized wedding, set at the edge of Guildford’s beautiful Stoke park, and close to Guildford and hotels that may be needed to accomodate wedding guests.

Jessica and Jamie had their Burchatts Farm Barn Wedding during the Christmas holidays, which meant the theme for their wedding catering was a festive menu:

We have worked several times at Burchatts Farm Barn. It is a beautiful place for a wedding and reasonably priced as a wedding venue.

When choosing your wedding caterer, it is important to find someone that is both experienced and reliable, but flexible enough to listen to your ideas and tastes to produce a stunning menu that makes your meal memorable for all the right reasons.

We received these words of thanks from Jessica and Jamie:

Dear Jane and all at Bricks Catering,

Thank you for helping to make our wedding such a special day with your exquisite food and exceptional service. So many guests commented on how delicious it was, and we especially appreciated the attention to detail and effort taken to cater to our specific needs.

Silver Wedding Anniversary celebration

Judith and David Strange celebrated their silver wedding anniversary celebration at Bricks Restaurant.

The couple met at a wedding in Send, Judith was the bridesmaid and David was the best man, Jane our chef was a guest at the wedding and remembers the two getting together so she was delighted when they decided to hold their Silver wedding anniversary celebration at Bricks.

Their wedding breakfast was held at “The Hickstead Resort Hotel” in Sussex and they requested that we replicated their wedding meal which we did except for the pud, the original meal had profiteroles which we replaced with a trio of desserts.

Below is a sample of their menu:

Fresh Salmon Mousse wrapped in Smoked Salmon and garnished with a King Prawn, served with a baby leaf salad and seeded bread

*****

Individual Beef Wellingtons with a Mushroom and Brandy Sauce

Creamy Dauphinoise Potatoes

Buttered Mixed Seasonal Vegetables

*****

A Trio of Desserts to include:

Petit pots au chocolat

Mini Sticky Toffee Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce

Hazelnut Meringue with Blackcurrant

*****

Coffee and Home-made Truffles

It makes the perfect venue for any small wedding, party, or celebration, and of the weather is nice you can throw open the bifold doors and spill out onto the courtyard setting. The restaurant seats around 70 guests, and there is plenty of free parking onsite. Have you considered having a Hog Roast? Take a look at our venue page for images of a Hog Roast party being held at Bricks.

We recently had the pleasure of Catering for Holly & James’ wedding at the lovely Smallfield Place. This stunning Jacobean house is available for exclusive use weddings, and the grounds and gardens are out of this world! I think the whole team were blown away by the venue and its beautiful gardens. You can also have a your Ceremony in amazing Oak paneled rooms – it really is a venue the feels extra special and very private.

Holly & James had a three course sit down meal that included a starter of Rocket, Fig, Parma Ham and Parmesan salad with a balsamic dressing. Its making me hungry just remembering it! If you are planning a wedding at Smallfield Place, and are in need of a caterer for your wedding, we would love to hear from you and be able to share with you both our creative and delicious menu ideas, and work with you to get the best from your event.

All of our staff are dressed in smart uniforms that really stick out, and are attentive, friendly and happy to help!

If you are looking for a small venue to host a party or celebration, then why not consider Bricks restaurant?

We have the capacity to sit around 60 people, and with our doors that open onto a courtyard garden setting (perfect for the kids to play safely), and ample free onsite parking for guests, it is a hidden gem. Perfect for Christenings, anniversaries, and Birthday parties, it is also an easy option for holding a wake with food, drink, and venue all catered for.

There is no cost to hire the venue, and we can close the restaurant for exclusive use for your party if you require. We are based a few miles outside of Guildford, easy to find on the A281 towards Cranleigh, and are fully licensed.

We recently hosted a party to celebrate Reece’s christening. With around 5o people in the restaurant, the venue was decorated with Blue and white balloons, white roses, and blue feathers. It looked gorgeous! Congratulations to you all, and thank you for choosing us to host your event. Included in the menu were sandwiches, quiche and mini steak and ale pies!

Choosing a wedding caterer is hard, choosing an event caterer that will add that extra special finish and quality to your wedding day is even harder. With so many caterers to choose from there are so many factors that can sway your choice.

At Bricks Catering we pride ourselves in creative menus made from the freshest of ingredients, sourced locally wherever possible. With so much choice with regards to the menu that we will create for you, it makes sense that you are able to try various combinations of dishes first before you make your final decision. Not all event caterers offer this service, but we couldn’t imagine choosing your menu any other way!

Because we are based form our large catering kitchen in Surrey, with a restaurant on site, why not come and see us, and experience the care and great service that we will put into making your event the best possible.

Recently we created a choice of mains, puddings, and starters for a tasting prior to a wedding on 26th July to be held in a Marquee at home in Godalming. Knowing exactly how your food will be presented at your wedding, and having confidence in the taste of each dish will enable you to relax, and let us take a huge weight off your shoulders knowing that your guests will be catered for with the best service, and delicious food.

If you are planning a wedding, party or event in Surrey or West Sussex, and need a high quality Caterer with experience and expertise, then get in touch – we would love to serve you.

The tantalizing smells of a Hog Roast! Have you ever walked past a Hog Roast and not wanted a pork bap? The smell as the meat cooks is amazing, and adds great atmosphere to any party or event that you may be planning.

Whether you are organising a large garden party or a post-wedding get together in your garden, a hog roast is loved by all for so many occasions. Why would you want to cook and cater for everyone, whilst not having time to enjoy your celebration?

The cost of a Hog Roast can be a lot less than having a fully catered event, although at Bricks Catering we can also provide accompanying dishes if you wish. This can be anything from delicious side salads, to a full buffet with a wide variety of fresh and tasty food, including desserts, buttered herb potatoes, or just convenient finger foods if you are not planning to sit down.

A Hog Roast also goes down well as an evening wedding reception buffet, the perfect scenario for your evening guests to arrive to, and also great for soaking up all the champagne that has been enjoyed during the drinks reception and wedding breakfast.

Lets face it – its not every day that you need the services of an outside catering company! Planning a wedding can be a huge task, after all you want the best you can possibly afford, whilst still striking a balance between the perfect wedding day – and eternal debt!

There are many websites offering advice and timescales for all aspects of finding, and choosing the perfect suppliers for your wedding day, so that is not what I will get into here.

Obviously whether you need a caterer for your wedding day itself or not depends on the type of venue that you have both decided on. Most hotels provide their own in-house caterers, although some still prefer to offer a wider choice which also then can incorporate a much wider selection of types of catering from specific themes, or specialist foods and menus from different countries. All things that also need considering when first choosing the venue for your wedding.

Here at Bricks catering we have a good reputation for listening to our customers requests, and subsequently creating a menu to suit your theme, tastes, or origins so that our food works with the theme of your wedding, as opposed to being bolted on the side as an added extra. But where would you start with the menu!?

Once you have chosen your venue, that will also reflect on the type of Wedding breakfast that would suit the surroundings. For example a Hog Roast or a Caribbean Barbecue may work better at a marquee or Village Hall wedding, rather than a more formal three course sit down meal which would suit a 5 star English Country manor with beautifully clipped hedges.

My point is you need a caterer who will really listen to what YOU want, not just serve you the standard menus rolled out for every wedding. You deserve more than that, and we take great pleasure in creating bespoke and delicious food for your guests to suit both your tase and budget. We so look forward to hearing from you!
